In that case, it would be a good idea to run Memtest. Is the system stable once it's running? Most cold boot problems seem to be related to memory or motherboard issues of one type or another.
I wouldn't be surprised if you're probably running into some sort of dumb Windows or driver bugs, though. If you're using an nForce chipset (not sure why you'd want to put up with nVidia weirdness on an Intel box, to be honest) don't ever install the IDE drivers, since they tend to cause this exact type of problem with a lot of optical drives.
You have the
